IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS ____________ No. 07-236 T (Judge Eric G. Bruggink) HOWARD A. MCKEE., Plaintiff, v.

THE UNITED STATES, Defendant ______________ MOTION FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME ______________ Pursuant to RCFC 6.1, defendant, the United States, hereby moves for a 30-day enlargement of time, from June 11, 2007, through July 11, 2007, within which to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint filed in this case. This is the first enlargement of time defendant has requested for this purpose. Counsel for plaintiff advised defendant's counsel on June 6, 2007, that he has no objection to the allowance of this motion. As good cause for this motion, defendant states that the Internal Revenue Service has not yet provided the Tax Division, Department of Justice, with the administrative files associated with the plaintiff's claim for refund or its recommendation regarding a response to plaintiff's complaint. The Department of Justice needs to receive these items and consider them before preparing an answer or other response to plaintiff's complaint.
